Rangers attacker Scott Wright is drawing interest from clubs overseas as he nears an exit from Ibrox, according to former Reach journalist Darren Witcoop. Wright, who has had an inconsistent tenure with Rangers, is reportedly “due to leave” the club and has several suitors, including teams from abroad.
Sheffield Wednesday’s Interest in Scott Wright
Sheffield Wednesday has been prominently linked with a move for the Scottish winger this summer, as reported by the Daily Record on July 6. They are one of several clubs, including Derby County and Preston North End,
that have made enquiries about Wright’s availability. Interestingly, Preston North End had shown interest in Wright a year ago, but no deal materialized. Instead, Wright was close to joining Pendikspor in Turkey, a move that ultimately fell through.
Potential Exodus at Rangers
Wright is not the only player on the brink of leaving Rangers. Other key players like Ianis Hagi, James Tavernier, and Connor Goldson might also be on their way out. Hagi has reportedly agreed on personal terms for a move back to Fiorentina, as per SportpeSure on July 21. James Tavernier, meanwhile, appears more open to a Turkish move and is believed to be nearing a deal with Trabzonspor, joining teammates Borna Barisic and John Lundstram, according to The 4th Official on July 20. Additionally, Connor Goldson has been linked with a transfer to Aris Limassol, as noted by This Is Mappa on July 21.
The Need for New Signings
Philippe Clement, the Rangers manager, is hoping that the interest in Wright and other players turns into solid offers. This would allow the club to recoup some funds and create space for new signings. Despite a standout performance in the Europa League against Benfica last season, Wright has struggled to consistently impact the team. Moving him on could benefit both parties, especially as Clement looks to bolster the squad with fresh talent.
The potential departure of these players signifies a significant shift at Rangers, potentially paving the way for new players to step up and make their mark at the club.
